Bloggers' Quilt Festival.
I was asked to represent my region of The Quilters Guild of the British Isles in this years 'In the Spotlight' exhibition at the Festival of Quilts. The theme was The Romance of Words, and I included a poem in the piece. The poem and the emotional aspect of this it all be found here in my Whys and Wherefores post. I hope you can take the time to have a look.
In the construction of this quilt there was a lot of painting....
...and pebbling.....
.......painting......
.....and pebbling.....
But I got there in the end.....Phew!
I learnt so much doing this quilt!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like what you see and will call again.
I blog here, where I share my personal artistic stitching journey and over at Quilt Routes where I share tutorials on fabric painting, landscape quilting and anything else that takes me along the quilting path.
I'm so glad you showed this quilt - it's so beautiful and should be seen by a wider audience. :)
